I have had braces for about 14 months now. It has been the longest since an adjustment (about 2 months). I simply cannot wait for my next adjustment! I need more movement! Any one else ever feel this way or am I the only one who looks forward to adjustments?

Even though adjustment usually means more pain, I still can't wait because I know, no pain, no gain.

I always look forward to adjustments as I always hope my teeth might start looking good!

I definitely look forward to adjustments. My second one is this Wednesday. It's such a relief to talk to my ortho about how things are going in there and to get reassurance that I'm on track. I haven't noticed any visible movement for the last month so I'm hoping there will be a wire change or powerchain or anything at this point!!!! Well, anything except elastics. I'm not looking forward to that.

I'm the same, I live for adjustments. It's the only time you actually can feel progress.

btw...LET'S GO BUFFALO!!!!!

I count down the days to my next adjustments! My 3rd one will be on May 30th, 3 more weeks

I'm even more excited because shortly after my last adjustment my bottom teeth really moved into place. I'm hoping for a repeat performance lol

i am totally looking forward to my next adjustment. I am bored with the ligs I have. I also can't wait to find out if I get freed of my bite plate. When I go in on May 24th it will have been 11 weeks since my last adjustment . that seems like forever since my first 3 adjustment were only like 4-5 weeks apart. things are still moving though thanks to my elastics and power chains. looking forward to my 6 mo mark in June I will post progress then.

Yes, bizarre as I think it is sometimes, I look forward to the next adjustment. I think this is because every adjustment is some kind of marker in one's treatment.

I have adjustments quite often, usually every 3-5 weeks, but I still get impatient for each adjustment. I think I just like knowing that each new archwire or piece of hardware in my mouth means I'm a step closer to having gorgeous teeth.

i look forward to my adjustments as well.

For me, it's because i think every adjustment moves me closer to this whole process being over and done.

I still have about 4 weeks until my next adjustment, but i can hardly wait.

I have adjustments every 4 weeks and couldn't be happier just because things seem to go by faster with adjustments so close together

Adjustment seem to scale down the time frame of braces. Instead of looking forward to having braces off, which is 15 months from now, I look forward to my next adjustment. My next adjustment just so happens to be tomorrow (May 9)!!! Woohoo!
